Obama Plays The Xenophobia Card

The race card hasn't worked and the crazy card hasn't worked. So now President Obama and his cronies - the very same people who cared so much about what the rest of the world thought - are playing the xenophobia card. In their last desperate attempt to preserve their hold on power, they are spreading lies about evil foreigners set on infiltrating America.

Without a shred of evidence, Mr. Obama and his minions are accusing Republicans and the Democrats' favorite boogeyman "big business" of taking "secret foreign money to influence our elections" in violation of federal law. These attacks are not only baseless; they are blatant attempts to frighten voters with the specter of secret foreigners. Not only is that despicable, it's against everything this president claimed to stand for.
Remember Candidate Obama's world tour during the 2008 campaign? That summer he traveled to Iraq, Jordan, Israel, Germany, France and the United Kingdom making speech after speech; alternately apologizing for the United States and seeming to run for the office of world president instead of American president.
But now as the American people are poised to reject his policies and his party at the ballot box, he and his Democratic National Committee are not only making false accusations against political rivals, they're encouraging fear and distrust of non-Americans to do it.
At a rally in Maryland Thursday, Mr. Obama declared, "Groups that receive foreign money are spending huge sums to influence American elections, and they won't tell you where the money for their ads come from." (source)
The DNC has produced a new ad calling the US Chamber of Commerce "shills for big business" that is spending millions from anonymous donors to help GOP candidates and is "even taking secret foreign money to influence our elections." Yet when asked to back up the allegations, White House adviser David Axelrod offered no proof. Instead he said, "Why not simply disclose where this money is coming from and then all of these questions would be answered." (source)
And that is the true purpose of the xenophobic games being played by Obama & Company. Spread the lies about non-existent evil foreigners trying to infiltrate our election process so that citizens become frightened enough to demand that the privacy of legitimate American donors be violated. Then the Democratic Machine can try to demonize them.
Doesn't sound like something the president of the world would do, does it? But it sounds exactly like what a failed politician desperate to hold onto his fading power would do.
